Virginia man felt lucky and won $1 million!

April 25, 2019 - Anthony Wesley of Triangle, Va., had a funny feeling when his wife returned home from shopping and said, “Hey. Someone won for a million dollars at Shoppers. Was it you?”

He was only half-joking when he replied, “It probably was.”

That’s because he knew he’d bought a Mega Millions ticket at Shoppers in Dumfries for the April 16 drawing…. and he was feeling lucky.

It turns out that he was indeed the $1 million winner. His ticket matched the first five numbers and missed only the Mega Ball number. The winning numbers were 11-29-34-48-54 and the Mega Ball number was 10. He used Easy Pick and allowed the computer to randomly select the numbers on his ticket.

Mr. Wesley said he plans to invest his winnings for his children. He also intends to win again.
